Slip Through Time in $1M Medieval-Style Castle in Oregon, the Week’s Most Popular Home

Who wants to live like royalty?

Apparently lots of us, as a concrete castle with a turret in Eugene, OR, is this week’s most popular home.

Listed for $1 million, the fortified three-bedroom dwelling features many custom details, including arched windows, skylights, and terrazzo flooring. Two knights in armor flank the arched entry door, ready to greet guests.

The only element that seems to be missing from the medieval-style property is a moat. Maybe the next owner can dig one?

Also grabbing attention this week are a Wisconsin home with a hobby farm, a Florida “bungalow in the jungalow,” and a Connecticut log cabin complete with an Irish pub.

For a full look at this week’s 10 most popular homes, just scroll down.
